I like that you have this whole cultural and unique way of story telling with the roscreans, but I have to be in the write mood to read prose lmao. Being not in the right mood, it was a little difficult to follow especially with the eccentric descriptions and such but I got that jist. Borr got the message and sailed with his fleet through a storm across the sea of ghost

Relative to where she was at the beginning, no doubt. But don’t mistake her survival there for having anything to do with power. Endar would’ve ended that very quickly if he wanted to.

The the only reason why she was able to cast that spell several times during the post is because of her magicka absorption from the Atronach stone. Endar’s spells were charging her up, so to speak. That, and her successful casting of a spell that she had lacked the magicka for in the past made Mila feel a lot stronger in that post than she really is.

Glad the "illusion" had the desired effect. XD Wanted to make the confrontation more interesting and display how out of her depth Mila was.

If Teutorigos and fifteen of his tribe's craziest, strongest, and most batshit death worshipping, Shor loving warriors constitutes a fleet, then hell yeah Clan Borr delivers!

The eccentric, highly improbable acts is in the end juxtaposed with a POV not from a skald.

They'd love Ubbe for sure, he'd fit right in.

I meant “powerful” as in even being able to stand up to endar at all whether he was taking it easy on her or not. If she gets that magicka pool up enough to cast the FoM with per willpower it’ll be pretty interesting to see

Name: Inwold Dalomax.

Gender: Male.

Age: 39.

Race: Breton.

Birthsign: The Tower.

Faction: Kingdom of High Rock, Knights of the Dragon (Formally), Fief of Dresan.

Rank: Earl of Dresan, Honorary tittle of Knight of the Dragon (For previous service).

Position: Vassal to Baron Gabryel Lafont, member of the martially bound lesser nobility, Bound to the Lordship of the Gaerharts.

Appearance: An averaged sized Breton man, physically in shape from following the treatises on training in armor. A round face with a weak chin, albeit has his curly blond beard to cover it. Greenish grey eyed.

Equipment: While the wealth required to purchase and maintain full plate is beyond Inwold's grasp, neither is he poorly equipped. Owning full maille (with hourglass gauntlets) hauberk, chausses, coif and aventail. Alongside plate breastplate, Schynbalds and sabatons. All atop an aketon. Wearing a local fashion that covers most of the maille, Bascinet and visor.

Primarily equipped with a halberd, arming sword on his person as a sidearm. As his kit isn't full plate Inwold carries an archaic heraldic shield on his person.

Owns a warhorse with maille barding.

Coat of Arms: Yellow mountain lion atop three perpendicular mage lights with the Tower constellation nestled at the bottom.

Retinue: Currently none, yet has sent for his old retainers once being reinstated.

Personality: Isn't much for the classic scheming of the Bretons, too fearful of losing his recently regained position his forefathers earned. One of his greatest pleasures is having servants equip him in his kit, Inwold feels like a king in those moments. 

Patron Divine: Zenithar.

Background/History: The Dalomaxes are a young family in the Breton nobility, while historically serving as knights for lesser nobles or as Imperial Knights. After the collapse of the Septim Dynasty the Dalomaxes saw a sinking ship and made the transition from serving as Imperial Knights to solely household guards in High Rock.

They found service for the wealthy Mon merchant family. The position of household guards for the Mons was lucrative enough that bribery was difficult at best. While never achieving any heroic deeds or displaying great chivalry the Dalomaxes were, after the Mons established a Barony around 4E 60, rewarded with the Fief of Dresan, where they continued serving loyally.

Dresan had little in the way of industrial potential yet made up for it with it's grazing lands and agrarian society. Wealth flowed to the Dalomaxes who were not prevalent in Breton schemes. For they it was better to jealously hold onto what they have then attempt to expand. Prior to Duke Jhared Mon's scheming against King Adrard the vassalage of the Dalomaxes were never put into question.

Needing extra wealth for his imminent scheme against King Adrard, Duke Mon heavily increased his taxation of the vassals under him. The current Earl of Dresan, Inwold Dalomax, couldn't pay the demanded increase in tariffs without dipping into his own treasury. He wrote of his complaints to Duke Mon stating at the current rate Mon's increased tariffs would have Inwold in debt within months. 

Duke Mon took the complaint as insubordination and ordered Inwold to be exiled and all assets seized. Without gold, arms or even horse Inwold had to walk outside of Mon's holdings. 

Inwold ended up in Daggerfall, given one of his siblings had married a lesser noble within the city. His desperation outweighed the shame and he sought for her help. Borrowing gold from the two and an sponsorship from his sister's husband landed him in the Knights of the Dragon.

Inwold toiled with mundane duties believing this would be his life now. He had been shoved from grace and replaced with a harder taxmaster. It was all the more surprising out of the blue Sir Emeric Bridwell, head of the Knights of the Dragon, summoned him and announced his reinstatement as Earl by the authority of Baron Gabryel Lafont. The loyalty of Inwold's replacement had been called into question and was deposed of, as he was associated with the now imprisoned Duke Mon.

A lifetime of exile lasted only a couple months.

Motives: Content to keep his regained Fief, understands what will be demanded of him in the war to come but isn't looking forward to it. Quite genuinely thankful for the generosity of his lord Lafont for returning his assets.

Skills: Trained all his adult life in Breton martial arts, understands all the treatises involving arming swords and polearms, trained extensively within his full kit. Is slightly less of a milk drinker.

Moniker: of the Hundred Tongues.

Gender: Male.

Age: 48.

Race: Western Roscrean.

Birthsign: The Lover.

Faction: The Neitos, Druidic Occultism.

roscrean_drwdae_cingetoi_by_dewitteillus

Equipment: Among the finest of Western Roscrean metallurgy is available to the Great Champion of the Neitos, as a whole the eastern Roscreans have a higher distribution of more advanced if not archaic equipment their western counterparts craft vastly superior works of armor for their elite.

With the advent of Steel Smithing gifted to the natives by Skyrim the Roscrean elite have forgone the old bronze and iron for the superior metal, Magalos included bears one of the finer examples of maille mastery the western islanders have to offer.

Maille interwoven with scales and lamellar, adorned with native motifs and medallions enchanted accordingly. A kit to rival the greatest of High Chieftains own.

Personality: Magalos dyn humbled by his time under the Druids follows the old worship of Mara, the love of freedom and one's kinsmen. Very thankful for the life he's had, being able to learn what he has. Ambition tempered by humility, a warrior shown the clever path. There are times he's struggled to find the balance between seeking knowledge and hunger for it, time and careful teaching kept him on the right hand path instead of treading close to the Woodland Man.

Background/History: Born into a Rosco-Nordic community during the late period of Imperial rule over Roscrea, having intermarried long ago brought Nordic martial traditions into the Roscrean sphere. In select Rosco-Nordic communities and sub-communities created a mixture of Nordic and Roscrean prowess, giving birth to the Gallowglass.

Magalos along with twenty four of his peers were being groomed for life as a Gallowglass, it was a martial upbringing with bare minimum of literary pursuits only for the sake of avoiding illiteracy. Yet in the provincial capital in the east began what would become a upon revolt, Magalos was years away from manhood at the start of this conflict, the various Rosco-Nordic communities were dis unified with oaths being sworn for both the Empire and of native rebelling chieftains. His own clan swore for Roscrea and so he and his twenty four peers, some of which became life long companions participated as well.

Traditionally the boys groomed for a life as Gallowglass followed their lords into battle as javelin bearers, Magalos at the rear of his elders were in conflicts across the island. Against the minority of Imperial supporters and the Legions, with the weakened Empire it wasn't enough to completely subdue the natives and the natives without their armies of old couldn't completely achieve their goal. While claiming no lives himself Magalos experienced conflict secondhand, however it had ended before achieving manhood and so was unbound as of yet. The Rosco-Nords loyal to their more pure blooded kinsmen retained their status while the unfortunate clans who gave oaths to the Empire were at best exiled and their clans integrated.

Now only loosely allied to the Empire the dismantled Neitos was reinstated with Druidic blessings, the old hill forts were rebuilt and all the Chiefdoms with all their confederations once again recognized and supported the concept of a new standing army, allied to all Oppida but bound to no chieftain as in ages past.

Many of the remaining Rosco-Nordic clans were quick to pledge themselves, with the age of professional mercenaries transitioning into professional warriors it was perfect for the often politically powerless Rosco-Nords. Magalos eventually becoming a man and earning the suffix 'dyn' were among those that pledged themselves, at this point in time years after it's resurgence the Neitos reached it's old power. As the Neitos rose in power so too did it's need for Drwdae Cincetoi which under the Empire was banned and hunted alongside the Druids, Magalos dyn was eager to be among the warriors taught under the Druids, which unlike the learned wise men increasing their own was much less rigorous and strict.

For the Druids in training of wizard-warriors martial prowess was sought after in greater degree then magical, although both must be inert to some degree. For Magalos dyn and even some of his old fellow javelin bearers were accepted after the Druids gauged both their magicka and martial ability, with the time of peace and a need for wizard warriors the whole process was more forgiving. Though there was another reason younger folk were given more slack, the sheer amount of time to be spent under the Druids.

For an older warrior was scrutinized more, he would need a greater understanding then his youngers. An absolute minimum of twenty years would need to be spent under the Druids before ever being recognized as Drwdae Cingetoi. The time was daunting for Magalos dyn, in the early years he was subjected to a Druidic education whom take this extremely seriously, it was with the iron fist of the Druids that teachings would be learned at heart by Magalos dyn before they ever taught the most basic of magics.

In time such things as theosophy and seeing things their way was taken in, when Magalos dyn could uphold a proper conversation on basic philosophy with the Druids only then was he opened up to the more occult. Drwdae Cingetoi were not taught how to throw about destruction magic or illusions and other nonsense, first his teachers began showing the secrets of ancient alchemy utterly unorthodox by Tamrielic standards. As he ever so slowly advanced in the field of alchemy it became clear how alchemical transmutation could be used against another, doors opened to Magalos dyn into a wider realm of Druidic Occultism.

Suddenly the Druids he once saw only as wise men were far more clever and dangerous then once thought, over a decade after being accepted by the Druids to be trained; his teachers reached the point where it was decided Magalos dyn would be taught the epitome of their magics, the Hermetic Magics. Encompassing all that he had learned from theosophy, alchemy and a wider study of the occult his final years under the Druids taught him terrible magics. Of which could and would come back to destroy him if used improperly, he learned much of Jhunal and Herma Mora, their symbolism and conflict. How this trusted magic was forever kept from the knowledge demon and how it must always be.

Throughout it all Magalos dyn had yet to kill a single man and while it ashamed him somewhat, he knew the gods would not allow him this knowledge without using it in their name. After twenty years of isolation among the Druids he returned to the Neitos with great pride, even unblooded Magalos dyn was after four hundred years among the first generation of Drwdae Cingetoi in this era. 

One thing still was lacking, the Neitos could not uphold the totem-banners while still untested as a whole. The gods were symbolically not with them, the current Great Champion; leader of all the Neitos elected by a Thing was uncertain of a right hand path. It was of little surprise when a Thing was assembled and a new Great Champion elected due to his predecessor's lack of balls. The Neitos had learned from the Empire, they learned that the furious charges of old wasn't enough and while it could not be perfectly implemented the Legion tactic of staying power was imitated.

The isles of the padomaic ocean, longstanding targets of Roscrean raids prior to the Empire was once again sized up. With the Great War causing the Empire to effectively lose nominal control over the eastern islands, the Neitos had no fears of retribution from them.

Yet another Thing decided that one of the Cathnoquey archipelagos having once housed an ancient Atmoran colony would be used as de jure claim, the somewhat recently crowned King of Kings in eastern Roscrea was staunchly opposed to conflict but he was largely ignored and was none too happy about his kingdom's navy to be used.

The idea of sending a formal declaration of war was a foreign one to the Western Roscreans, Cathnoquey only knew of war when Eastern Roscrean Lad'ya; cross between a Longboat and Cog, brought scores of Neitos to the archipelagos. As Roscrea had no transport ships at this time the majority of the Neitos would be sent in scores. Magalos dyn was along the first waves of Neitos, who had it in his mind this war would last for years. 

In reality Cathnoquey was already warring with the Imperialized natives of Esroniet, what was meant to be a great war with the sacking of each archipelago was a fourteen week war of a few hundred skirmishes, before the Cathnoquey natives payed a lump sum to the Neitos and declared them victors. While there was no sacking or great battles and the city states went unlooted, it was overall lackluster but the Great Champion was satisfied with the gold and claimed the gods were surely appeased.

But for the champions within the Neitos this war made names for themselves, within the skirmishes these Roscrean champions took on the bravest of native tribal warriors in duels. Magalos dyn by circumstance created a name for himself as a so called Drwdaeic champion by claiming over a hundred tongues from his duels, it was not world shattering heroism but certainly of note by the Skalds who marked his deeds. Magalos dyn never kept the tongues, he always discarded them eventually.

As every Neitos hill fort committed men, the Druids deemed that indeed the Great Champion was correct and now tested in what barely could be called a war now has the right to Totem-Bearers. The bearer of Shor was most prestigious of them all, thankfully Magalos dyn was among the army bestowed by it. While the other armies each had their own totem representing the gods.

At the end of it all the Great Champion having been made considerably wealthier by his claim of the gold resigned from his position to pursue his own political goals of which the Great Champion is forbidden from, he would go on to become a Great Chieftain, lording over the Oppidum of Ecoriobriga.

With the need of another Great Champion bringing about a Thing, Magalos dyn decided then to proclaim himself for the position. The Druids enjoyed greatly the idea of a Drwdae Cingetoi in the position of Great Champion and while Magalos dyn had opposition with their own claims of heroic deeds it was Magalos dyn's claiming of over a hundred tongues in duels that won him the Thing's support.

It was a position without terms, only death or another Thing with the support of Druids could depose of him. Magalos dyn had no intention for further conflicts in the east, his being a Rosco-Nord and beyond that a former Gallowglass barred him from a wider degree of ambition outside the Neitos. As the Neitos settled back down they were immediately set for conflict when just south rebellion broke out in Skyrim. If the Empire called upon Roscrea to take up against this rebellion Magalos dyn would do no such thing, in secret with the Archdruids they gave their support to Magalos dyn and their blessings for a possible conflict with the Empire.

Thankfully though the rebellion disrupted the forced trade and tribute between Roscrea and the Empire, by the end of things it looked like the Nords had won the conflict and just a few odd years later the Archdruids come to him, asking of contribution to his kinsmen. He could not refuse, he was of Roscrea but still had blood ties to the Old Kingdom. Magalos dyn pledged the totem of Shor, himself and his army to the cause. With the transport fleet now built, all that needs now are arrangements in Skyrim and the Nords will have their support.

Motives: Living the early life of a Gallowglass taught him a great importance in the old worship of Mara and old loyalty, never to abandon one's lord or one's kin. His twenty years under the Druids taught him the mystery schools and opened up a new world for him, yet also opened up new dangers to fear. His time in active war bloodied him and now as the Great Champion he has achieved the highest could ever hope for. There is nothing higher to climb for Magalos dyn, but there are greater things out of reach.

Skills: Greatly trained in the dangerous Hermetic Magics, with the mindset of war and battle as different then a Druid's.

Experienced in use of old Nordic polearms and axes though absolutely prefers the Western Roscrean antenna swords and a shield, greater flexibility for a wizard-warrior.

Warps space and time to have more realistic armor physics.(Joke)
